My parents bought me a Bronica ETRS medium format camera as my Graduation gift, and I was finally able to put it to use (after the first camera, an older model, went belly up). I also put the "new" Besler enlarger to use with it, which will be its primary duty, as my other enlargers are primarly set up for 35mm printing. The two cats belong to my next door neigbors, posing in their front window.

I have a home darkroom where I print and process my black and white work. This is the enlarger area and film processing area. The enlarger on the right is my Vivitar 356, where I do most of my printing. The enlarger on the left is used primarily for contact sheets. I also have an old Durst that I use for a copy stand.(It was my first enlarger) I recently aquired a Beseler 23CII that was missing a baseboard and negative carriers at a garage sale, which will be used for medium format, once it's completed. Next is the print processing area. From right to left: Development, stop water (used in place of indicator stop bath), and fixing. Washing is done in the kitchen since I have no running water in the Darkroom. I would like to move the film processing area to the back wall, but I need to build a new bench. I would also like to rearrange the safelighting set up. I do like having my own darkroom, though I wish it was easier to get supplies to operate it.
